Bernhard Wiedemann created a nice tool at openbugs.zq1.de to avoid the situation where two people work on the same issue.

We are pleased to announce the Greek sub-forum is now live and ready for business. I have been working closely with: @warlordfff, who will be one of the Forum Moderators. The full list of openSUSE forum Moderators can be seen here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Forums_team
